Open mic to be held

[John Dean]

The new season of Open Mic nights for authors will continue on Thursday November 24. The nights, supported by Darlington for Culture and which offer a forum for writers to read their material and audiences to enjoy it, run at Voodoo Café/Cantina, 84 Skinnergate, Darlington, on the last Thursday of the month.

Now in their sixth year, the nights have given dozens of writers from Darlington and further afield the opportunity to read work including poetry, short stories, novel extracts and scripts to appreciative audiences.

Readers range from published authors to those just starting out on their writing careers, and pieces read out range from completed pieces to work in progress for which the authors are seeking feedback. It all makes for an enjoyable evening’s entertainment. Each session starts at 7pm and the cost of entry is £3 paid on the door. More information is available from Inscribe Media Limited at [e-mail] A share of the proceeds are donated to Darlington for Culture to help further its work supporting arts and culture in the town.
